Veganism
So, last night, while eating a steak, I realized that steak, turkey, chicken, and in fact, pork, makes me pretty sick. I was talking to my fiance and she told me how she had a friend who tried to turn Vegan but failed because she “got hungry”. Best excuse for failing at something ever, that was. Becca only eats chicken and turkey, and turkey’s only once a year. Other than that, she told me she doesn’t eat any meat at all.
I’ve always had an odd attraction to vegan girls. Something about the hipster idea of saving animals and caring about their health while slutty teens are sucking down meat in some restaraunt. No sex pun intended. Vegan girls seem to be the most interesting in the idea that they decided, on their own, “I no longer wish to eat meat.” When in fact your body needs some meat. After seeing the South Park episode, “Fun With Veal”, I decided to NEVER eat veal, and I never did before that, and still havn’t. That was in 2002. I am proud of myself for it. I also figured, as my logic always in a weird way DOES make some twisted sense, none of you can deny THAT, I could become a vegan easily.
I stopped eating chocolate and drinking milk because it made me sick because I have lactose intolerance, and still don’t eat or drink it. I stopped eating fast food because it makes me violently ill. And I also have pretty much stopped using pornography since Becca and I have been together. So I have an easy habit of kicking addictions. I figured, “Hell, with MY track record, I could TOTALLY become completely vegan easily in NO TIME!”
QUESTION:
Do you think I could become Vegan with Becca?
BONUS PARTY QUESTION:
Have YOU or someone you know/knew ever tried to become Vegan, and if so, what was the result, fail or succeed?
And who knows, maybe if this succeeds Becca and I can start being our OWN Peta ads:

When I first heard about vegans, I thought they were visitors from a planet outside of our solar system. Then, overhearing a conversation about degrees of vegetarianism, I learned who vegans were. I wasn’t impressed with their total abstinence from meat. At the same time, I wasn’t critical. I just viewed vegans with the same indifference that I view most groups of people.
As for you becoming a vegan, that dietary change can achieved with someone’s help. Once you get married to Becca, you will have her support. Yet, even with her assistance in buying and preparing food, it won’t be easy to give up meat. Meat has been part of your diet from the time you were weaned, so giving it up will be tough. Tough as in a piece of overcooked steak that’s as difficult to chew as shoe leather.

Uh, well, it was kind of a joined decision. We both sort of agreed it probably would be healthier for us. I’m still going to eat chicken however. Protien. That kinda stuff.
As for Becca and I, yeah, it’ll be nice to have her support, but I totally agree with you on the account of how F*CKING HARD it is to give up meat. I’m craving it SOOOOO badly lately. So I know how that is. Ha ha.
I too once thought Vegans were weird, or different anyway, but if it’s healthier and it’ll allow me to have maybe more energy and live longer, don’t know why I’d wanna live longer but whatever, uh, then I’m all for it.
